Very tastefully decorated and equipped, Lower Laurels is the perfect base for a holiday in the beautiful fishing village of Polperro. The flat is very comfortable and more spacious than appears in the photos. We had everything we needed for a really enjoyable holiday. The coastal walks from the flat are breathtaking. The general store meets all basic needs and the pubs serve very good beer and food.
Our only issue and this was nothing to do with the flat or Kelvin's management, was Alan, who did not turn up to take our luggage from the car park, so that was quite a trek.

This cosy little flat was just perfect. As with the last reviewer we arrived late when it was dark and cold outside and the cottage was lit up, warm and inviting with a friendly note to welcome us - perfect place to relax after a long journey.
The size was just right for two people, the whole place was fully kitted out (even a spare iPhone charger!), and all the rooms were perfectly clean and modern throughout. Also, seriously comfy bed!
The couple running the place from the flat above are also really nice and friendly; we even got a jolly hello from Kelvin in the morning to check whether everything was in order.
Absolutely brilliant place to stay, couldn't recommend it enough and my parents are already looking to try the place themselves.
Big thanks!!!

I looked at so many holiday rentals in Polperro, this pretty little village has so many to offer especially this time of year when the summer holiday visitors have gone which offers a perfect time to visit this quirky village and If like us you just want to walk the South West Coast Path with the dog you get a vast choice of accomodation plus you really do get to meet the locals....Lower Laurels with it's great reviews on TA is the perfect place to stay, the cottage is so comortable you feel your at home as soon as you first walk in the door, we arrived late evening and the cottage was warm with the lights on.....very welcoming....the cottage is well equipped and perfect for cooking....every utensil in the kitchen you could wish for...perfect if don't want to eat out every night....as well as the lovely kitchen you have a table..the lounge with a comfotable couch, electric fire, night storage heating, tele with dvd and wifi if you have a lap top....mobile phone service is limited to who your server is...the rest of the cottage offers a bedroom with a very comfortable double bed and a bathroom with a lovely walk in shower...it also has an outside seating area..ok small but for 2 people perfect.... you have to park at the top of the village and walk down to the cottage but this is part of the Polperro experience....we parked in the Crumplethorn Carpark for 3 days and it cost £19..as for eating out in Polperro it has to be the Blue Peter Inn....even now I can't believe how small this pub was but the best place to eat in Polperro..the curry was lush and the pub was dog friendly....for anyone walking the coast path and using Polperro as a base the walk to Looe is easy....the other way to Polruan..up and down..if you walk one way buses are available to bring you back....I have walked and stayed many places on the South West Coast Path but staying at Lower Laurels takes some beating...Thank you Kelvin

We had a great week at the Lower Laurels, kicked off by a lovely warm welcome from Kelvin upon our arrival.
The cottage was warm and comfortable, an ideal base for visiting all the area attraction and literally a step away from the glorious coastal path.

Lovely little cottage on the small port of Polperro was exactly what we were looking for. Kevin was very welcoming, and the cottage was very cosy. Easy walking distance to all local commodities, as well as the cliff top walk nearby.
Highly recommended.

My partner and I recently stayed at Lower Laurels for the second time and find it to be a perfectly located apartment which keeps you right in the centre of everything but still gives you some much needed peace and quiet. As you leave the apartment you are faced with beautiful views of the harbour and instantly feel a sense of tranquility as you hear the waves crashing against the rocks. The apartment itself gives a wonderfully cosy feeling and is very well equipped for self catering.
The locals are very friendly here and there is a real sense of community and joyful spirit. Even the Managers upstairs go out of their way to welcome you and ensure that you have everything you need.
We would happily come back to Lower Laurels as it is a perfect getaway no matter the weather and is a wonderful place to stay.

What a perfect place for a short break! The apartment is beautifully decorated with a modern seaside feel. There really is everything you could want to enjoy your stay - from a fantastic range of kitchen equipment, books, maps and games! We have not stayed in a holiday let that is decorated to such a high standard before. The owners have obviously taken a lot of care and attention in making it feel homely - there were a few things we would have liked to take home with us! We didn't recognise any of the problems of the previous reviewer. It was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable and there were no problems with damp smells.
It's a great spot for enjoying Polperro. Lovely to just be able to pop out your door for a stroll to the harbour, an explore of the little streets or a visit to the very interesting Smuggling museum opposite. The SW coast path even runs right past the front door! Either direction along the coast is stunning but the walk to Looe (and back on the bus!) is wonderful. We will certainly be back for longer next time!
